<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi guys,<div><br></div><div>I am new of ITK and I have a question. I am trying to develop a filter for reducing noise from MRI and CT images and in particular at the moment I am thinking about a method to find a proper estimator for the power of noise. As a starting point I am supposing to have a an additive Gaussian noise so I was thinking to use the mode of the distribution of local variance as an estimator. Therefore, I was wondering if there is some filter in ITK already doing that, or if you have any example I could follow to do that.</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks in advance for your help,</div><div><br></div><div>Cedric</div>                                            </div></body>
